Oh well just me and Nick then.

Guess the rest of the views so far dont reside in Thailand.

Well weve just hit Surat Airport on our way back and its hissing down , lets see whats like for the rest of the journey into Phuket

Think its pretty clear the OP will be fine with his budget ,

I do however suggest he logs in again when he arrives so he can let us all know how he gets on and buys us who live here a beer ;-)

Heading Back from a weekend away in Hua Hin , the weather has been great there, seems the weathers still crap back home then.

Now what was it i liked about this tropical sunny island paradise again ? :-)

^^ could add alot more to that too ,

Would like to see price comparisons on specifics from the OP.

Would be interesting.... care to share ?

Wife showed me a news article this morning where a Thai had been stopped on his bicycle ( bicycle not mbike ).

He was pulled over by the police and for what ever reason was breathalised , turns out he was drunk so was duly arrested.

Appeared in court and the Judge threw the case out telling the BIB that they cannot arrest anyone for riding a bicycle drunk and let him go.

Been a long time since ive been in Farangland but assume you would be done for drunk in charge or some other bloody law ?

^^ the bts isn't cheap ???

Comments anyone ?

Seems not alot then

5,000thb a month with a pool !

Jees really ???

So give or take thats around 7,500thb per day.

Seems ok ,

Guessing some days youll be at the beach not spending alot , so this is going to carry on to the next day .

For when youll spend it on day trips etc.

Wouldnt worry too much if I was you.

Post your budget you planned on and maybe we could let you know what you could expect accomodation wise , and things to do that would fall within your numbers ,?

You could try DD transport directly opposite Makro just down from Central.

Good and reliable service from Phuket to BKK ,

Been using them for years for the same trip .

Why not 7/11 ?

So you found your market for the mac, Just the camera now

People still have a computer thats 6 years old ???

Oh sorry he wants to give the profit to the local Wat.

Heres an idea ,

Just give them the dam stuff

So nobody wants to buy anything from the op ?

Shame on you all

Could always order one of Nickis Ferraris , 5k one way :-)

Looking forward to the replies from our more whitier "members" on this one :-)

Sounds a bit dodgy , could I just ask why you want to decieve the sender ?

^^ managed grab taxi a few times now.

A few trips taken include ...

Thalang - Patong

Phuket Town - Rawai

Ao Makham - Thalang

Its a bit hit and miss and of course the fare always higher than the app quotes.

But at least its a taxi that turns up , and not having to scratch around to see if anyone knows a Thai who wants a couple of quid and just turns up in some random car / truck

Fare is about right.

Just surprised people take the time to calculate mathmatical equations to this extent , its a taxi ride !

You also forgot to add the waiting time as the meter ticks over in traffic.
